Steve,
I can understand being frustrated with the fact that your hardware is no
longer supported, but this is really the wrong place to complain about it
with this tone. The RS/6000 is hardly the same hardware as Apple's PPC
hardware, and I suspect that most people on this list would rather see a
small company like Terra Soft devote their resources supporting new Apple
hardware than rare IBM hardware.
The person you should really be complaining to is IBM, who like to preach
about Linux and interopability. They'll likely ask you to try out the new
RedHat distro that they dumped a whole lot of $$ into. Then you can do
yourself a favour and unsubscribe from the YDL list and no longer have to
hear about this 'dead horse'.
cheers,
Chris
